PITTsBURG, Feb. 25.-Ira ID. Sankey,
the evangelist who gospel hymns are
now sung in two continents, was in the
city to-day, enrOute to New Castle,
Pa, where his aged mother still re-
sides. lie will leave in few days 60
confer with his old co-labOrer, Rev.
Moody, in Chicago. These two men
have on hand a MON
strous undertaking. They will
endeavor to evangeliZe Chicago, and
to this end will erect a building in that
city to cost S250, 900 for the training of
OTchestan workers. The contract for
the building will be let i'll very short
time. The money, the greater portion
of which is donated by the wealthy
residents of Chicago, has been
about all secured. This is
something new said Mr.. Sankey,
sit is somewhat of an experiment, but
my friend, Mr.. Moody, is confident of
good results. Remember this is not to
be theological scheme, but just what
its name implies, a school for the
training of Christian workers. The
ablest and most practical teachers
known will be secured and the school
will be placed OH firm, substantialbasis.
We want to reach the lowest class of
people. We want to send these work
ers, whom we expect to educate speci-
ally for this class of work, out into the
highways and byways and help lift up
that portion of Chicago which is be-
yond the reach of the ordinary agencies
for the good and blessing of
mankind. Mr.. Moody believes
that Chicago is the best place to try
the new work. The field is certainly a
large one, and If we are successful there
we propose to advocate the same sys-
TENS in other cities, and viii try and
have similar buildings erected in New
York, Philadelphia and your city OF
Pittsburgh. Moody is a practical
man, and is determined as far as posi-
ble to reach all classes. There is only
one way in which to compel the rabble
of the cities to obey the laws and that
is to educate and evangeliZe them
This is the principle in which we pro

ST. LOUIS, March IA special from
Garden City, Kansas. says: Word has
just been received here of Il serious
shooting ARRAY at Coronado, Wichita
county, Sunday night, in which two
men lost their lives, four were fatally.
shot and three seriously injured. The
killed and fatally injured are from Lee
oti and the others are from Coronado.
The trouble occurred over the location
of the county seat, both cities be-
ing candidates for the honor. Some
time ago the governor sent commits
sion there to take expressions of the
people as to the location OF the Temporal
ry county seat, and as a result of that
canvass, Leoti was designated. An
election for officers and the permanent
county seat was called for the 9Th of
last month, but in the meantime the
legislature passed a law poStponing
county seat elections until the regis
tratiOn was had. Leoti voted for
county officers and county seat both,
on the ground that the recent law is
unconstitutional. Coronado failed to
vote on the county seat question and
was defeated in the county election
Since then each has charged the other
with gross frauds and a good deal of bad
feeling was developed. Sunday night
a crowd of men from Leoti went to
Coronado and during a dispute over
the elections, Charles Golfer from
Leoti struck Frank Lilley of Coronado
over the head with a revolver. Ezra
LOOmis tried to stop the quarrel and
received a bullet from Golfers revolver
in his leg for his pains. Shooting then
became general and resulted as fol-
lows: VIM. Pains, druggist, Charles
Golfer, both of Leoti, instantly killed;
Emmett Dining, livery man. Frank
Jeniss, son of the mayor. johnson and
Albert Boorey manager of the Chicago

tate agent, Charles LOOMS and Ezra

wounded. The scene of the fight is dis

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-. Feb. 26.-Nina
Brooks dead body is lying in the rear
room of Il small drug store at the cor
ner of Turtle Street and Cass Avenue,
in this city. The fact of her death was
not reported to the coroner until this
afternoon. and no official inquiry has
been made concerning the cause. The
following facts, however, have been
learned: Yesterday afternoon the
clerk at the drug store, of
which Henry Bauber is
proprietor, heard pistol shot in the
rear room. and a moment later Bauber
rushed into the store, crying, ''She has
killed herself; she has killed herself. -
In his right hand was graSped Smok-
ing revolver and his manner was greatly
excited. The clerk seized the revolver
and took it away from Bauber
for fear that he might do
himself some harm, and then
summoned physician, who, upon max
ing an examination of the woman, pro-
nOunced her dead. She had been shot
in the mouth, and the bullet had
scattered blood and brains over the
wall and bed upon which she was lying.
A friend of Bauber came to the store,
and after cOnversing with
him for a minute, they
left the store together. Bauber and
Samuel II. Peters, clerk, were arrested
to-day. the former on warrant charg-
ing him with the murder of Nina
Brooks, and the latter with being an
accessory. Nina Brooks was woman
of i'll repute and formerly lived at

HALIFAX, n. s., March 2.-The pub
LEGATION of the address of the New
Foundland legislature to the imperial
government has produced a sensation.
If it is not declaration of independ-
ence, it is the next thing to it. New
Foundlanders tell the imperial govern
ment that they own their own
fisheries and they do not propose
to pay the slightest heed to French on
American interests, or to brook any
interference from the imperial govern
ment. The situation is so serious that
both Premier Thorburn and
Sir Ambrose Shea, leaders
of the opposition have left
the legislature to take care of itself
and have gone to London to represent
the dangerous character of the prevail
ing feeling in Newfoundland. Mean
while the press and people are uniYer-
sally discussing the benefits of annex
alton to the United States. Anything
they say would be better than the pres
ent state of affairs, and if annexation
was submitted to Il popular vote it
would be carried by three-fourthS
majority.

land, colonial secretary, has sent a

Foundland informing him that the

lied in disregarding the strong protests

fiiet grave loss upen French fishermen,
and is, therefore, unable to allow the

NEW York, March 1.-The Armour
interview sent out from Galveston
last Monday is exciting great interest
among all those who are opposed to
the adulteration of food. The Times
devotes long editorial to the subject
this morning. Following is portion
of it: Phillip d. Armour of Chicago
and associates own and operate, it is
said, the largest establishment in the
world for the manufacture and sale of
lard and other hog products. Armour
frankly admitted in Galveston that it
was his intention to form a company
with SIC, 900 900 for the manufacture of
cotton seed oil. Here is what the great
pork packer said about his interest in
the cotton seed oil bushes: 1.-The
use of cotton seed oil in the
manufacture of lard and hog products
has grown to such an extent in late
years that my establishment alone con-
sumed one-fifth of the total cotton oil
products of last year which
was from 1880, 900 to TO-
OOO. 900 gallons. Armour thus
admits that he used in his lard factory
one-fifth of this, or from $780,
900 to 100000 gallons. 1t
appears that exporters and
half the entire product. A large guam
tity must be used by other manufac-
turers of lard who compete with Ar
mour & Co. 1t is asserted that large
part of the remainder is used by man
